Mary Jane RAMSEY born 1849 Cornwall

[debs28]

I am looking for information for Mary Jane Ramsey born 1849 Cornwall. I would like information  on the 1851,1861,1871 census also her parents names and date of birth. I know Mary Married William Knott in Tavistock Devon in July 1872 but that is all I do know.
I would be grateful for any information that will help me with the brickwall I have hit researching Mary.

I have looked on them for them and cant find Mary Jane Ramsey or her parents is there anywhere else they could be?

[KGarrad]

Have you tried spelling variations? E.G. Ramsey?

How do you know she was born in Cornwall? I reckon she was born in Devonport, Devon!

Well on the 1881 census when she was married to William Knott it got her place of birth as cornwall so i thought if it was on the 1881,1891, census that where she was born

[KGarrad]

There is a Mary Jane Ramsey in Tavistock in 1871 - just months before her wedding - where her place of birth is down as Devonport.

As the marriage took place in Tavistock, she seems a likely candidate?!
FreeBMD has the marriage, and has her name spelled as Ramsey.
